ditioning control panel.
B730A01FC-GATOperation Tipso To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from
entering the car through the ventilation sys-
tem, temporarily set the air intake control to
"Recirculation". Be sure to return the control
to "Fresh" when the irritation has passed to
keep fresh air in the vehicle. This will help
keep the driver alert and comfortable.
o Air for the heating/cooling system is drawn
in through the grilles just ahead of the wind-
shield. Care should be taken that these are
not blocked by leaves, snow, ice or other
obstructions.
o To prevent interior fog on the windshield, set
the air intake control to the fresh air ( )
position and fan speed to the desired posi-
tion.

For dehumidified heating:
o Turn on the fan control switch.
o Turn on the air conditioning switch. The air
conditioning indicator light should come on
at the same time.
o Set the air intake control to "Fresh" mode
( ).
o Set the air flow control to "Face".
o Adjust the fan control to the desired speed.
o For more rapid action, set the fan at one of
the higher speeds.
o Adjust the temperature control to provide
the desired amount of warmth.
B740D01A-AATOperation Tips
o If the interior of the car is hot when you first
get in, open the windows for a few minutes
to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air conditioning
system, keep all windows closed to keep
hot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic,
shift to a lower gear. This increases engine
speed, which in turn increases the speed of
the air conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air conditioning
off to avoid the possibility of the engine
over-heating.
o During winter months or in periods when the
air conditioning is not used regularly, run the
air conditioning once every month for a few
minutes. This will help circulate the lubri-
cants and keep your system in peak operat-
ing condition.
o Adjust the fan control to the desired speed.
For greater cooling, turn the fan control to
one of the higher speeds or temporarily
select the "Recirculation" position on the air
intake control.B740B01S-AAT
